(Health and Safety Code §13113.8)

4. EXCEPTIONS: Exceptions to the state law are generally the same as the exceptions to the Transfer Disclosure Laws.

5.

Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act Disclosure Notice

The property is subject to Mello-Roos as described in the attached district disclosure notice.

The property is subject to Mello-Roos. I have not been able to obtain a district disclosure notice after a good faith effort. However, I have attached a notice from a non-governmental source that I believe clearly and accurately describes the related tax liabilities.

The property is not subject to Mello-Roos.

Notice of Your “Supplemental” Property Tax Bill

California property tax law requires the Assessor to revalue real property at the time the ownership of the property changes. Because of this law, you may receive one or two supplemental tax bills, depending on when your loan closes.

The supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your lender. If you have arranged for your property tax payments to be paid through an impound account, the supplemental tax bills will not be paid by your lender. It is your responsibility to pay these supplemental bills directly to the Tax Collector.

If you have any question concerning this matter, please call your local Tax Collector's Office.
